"Because it is personal, Mulder. Because without the FBI, personal interest is all that I have. And if you take that away then there is no reason for me to continue."

--Dana Scully

This wasn't meant to be a series; honest. It started out as a standalone: "A Slight Miscalculation." But then I started getting rather a lot of email from various folks demanding to know how the "miscalculation" came to be. So I thought about it, and started writing -- and before I knew it, I had yet another series going. *sigh* Oh, the embarrassment ... ;)

NOTE: After some consideration, I'm putting "A Slight Miscalculation" first, even though it is near the end if you take the stories in chronological order. But I've received some email which suggests that this is the best reading order, and I agree. Consider it a prologue .... ;)

This series is rated PG-13 for the most part. Some chapters are rated NC-17, and have been appropriately marked. Contains spoilers through "Biogenesis" -- especially for the second half of Season 6.

Prologue

A Slight MiscalculationA number of people have taken a crack at the question of why Scully was so willing to leave Mulder behind when she went to Africa. This is *my* take on it.

Making It Personal"Because it is personal, Mulder. Because without the FBI, personal interest is all that I have. And if you take that away then there is no reason for me to continue." -- Dana Scully, "One Son"

Sin of OmissionIt isn't all hearts and flowers for Mulder and Scully -- but when has it ever been?
